EI once did gigs (maybe even a tour?) in France - to the French I'll add - with only some very basic French, and they still laughed, even though he was asking the audience for the French for really fundamental words like 'spoon' to continue his routine.

THAT is a funny man.

plus he must have balls of iron to get up in front of an audience speaking a language he's not too good at, and attempt to do a gig.

Were they maybe laughing at his strange accent?
